Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Metrucks (Metrucks GmbH) is a legitimate German startup producing the 'Doer' series electric cargo quadricycle, with verified partnerships (Nijland Cycling) and pilots (NHS, City of Künzelsau). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing demonstrably false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and vague financial data ('marketcap 2500000'). While the hardware solution has high real-world utility and verified existence, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of broad traction and the dishonest/low-effort submission.
